Easily rename your Git default branch from master to main - Scott Hanselman
Nice and straightforward. Locally:
git branch -m master main
git push -u origin main
Then on the server:
git branch -m master main
git branch -u origin/main
On github.com, go into the repo’s settings and update the default branch.
Thanks for this, Scott!
P.S. Don’t read the comments.

The Recurring Cycle of ‘Developer Replacement’ Hype
Here’s what the “AI will replace developers” crowd fundamentally misunderstands: code is not an asset—it’s a liability. Every line must be maintained, debugged, secured, and eventually replaced. The real asset is the business capability that code enables.
If AI makes writing code faster and cheaper, it’s really making it easier to create liability. When you can generate liability at unprecedented speed, the ability to manage and minimize that liability strategically becomes exponentially more valuable.
This is particularly true because AI excels at local optimization but fails at global design. It can optimize individual functions but can’t determine whether a service should exist in the first place, or how it should interact with the broader system. When implementation speed increases dramatically, architectural mistakes get baked in before you realize they’re mistakes.
